El uso y el consumo de dispositivos móviles están aumentando gracias al fácil acceso a este tipo de tecnología, que aumenta de forma inherente la generación de residuos electrónicos. El objetivo de este estudio es determinar las propiedades psicométricas de un instrumento que mide las actitudes de los adolescentes hacia el manejo de los desechos electrónicos. Se realizó una validación de contenido y construcción respaldada por la aplicación de análisis factorial exploratorio y confirmatorio. Los resultados muestran que esta escala podría aplicarse en poblaciones de estudiantes de secundaria y podría ser aportada para diversos trabajos de investigación.
